Quick update!

Okay, sorry... still no pictures.  Bad internet here.  

The last few days at the Lazy Fish were good! Worked on cleaning, gardening, painting and then most afternoons we just relaxed, kayaked, laid out by the water...  :) 

Another thing I liked about staying at the Lazy Fish was the company. Steve and Jenny (who run the retreat) were really great. Jenny made all the meals for us  (so good!) and then we would all eat together.  We had some great conversations. I think that’s my favorite thing about this trip.

Yes, we’ve done some cool things and seen some beautiful places, but I love the people more than anything. Kiwi Hospitality is TOP NOTCH and I love being able to talk to people about their life, their country and answer questions about my own country. J    

We got up early today and did a dolphin watch. It was cool. We got to see some hector dolphins and they were so happy. They kept jumping out of the water to see us. 

We met some German guys on the tour (go figure… everyone who is on holiday here is from Germany!!) but we went out for pizza with them afterwards.  We then went to get our rental car and had a lovely time chatting with the guy at the car rental place. It literally took us at least 30-40 minutes to get our car because we kept talking about… a lot. He was really nice though and offered me a job! bahhaa And was also trying to set me up with a Kiwi man!  YESSSSSS!

We’re now in a hostel near Abel Tasman…. No longer staying with host families (which I’m bummed about) but it also offers us greater flexibility. (And costs more $)  L 

Tomorrow we’re going to do a portion of the walk at the park and then hopefully drive to our next destination, Golden Bay. 

OH! And another highlight! We had McDonalds today! HAHA First McDonalds we’ve had since we’ve been here.
